Mabura father of 7 denied bail for unlawful wounding

Prince Headley of the Mabura township in Region 10 was last Tuesday arraigned before Linden Magistrate Clive Nurse on a charge of unlawfully and maliciously wounding George Summers on March 29, 2018 at Mabura.
Headley is being represented by Attorney Rene McDonald, who made application for bail for his client on ground that the 58-year-old farmer and father of 7 is hypertensive and diabetic and needs regular medical attention.
Several witnesses who were expected to testify in the matter on Tuesday did not show up, causing a frustrated Magistrate Nurse to express that the court is weary of the excuses of Police witnesses not attending court.
The court heard that the accused had previously been granted bail, which was later revoked after he had failed to attend court. The magistrate thus denied the application for bail, advising the attorney that the decision can be appealed at the High Court.
The accused is scheduled to return to court on June 19.
